Broadcaster Press 5 January 7, 2020 www.broadcasteronline.com Three More State Properties Listed On National Register Of Historic Places PIERRE, S.D. – Three more South Dakota properties were recently added to the National Register of Historic Places, according to the South Dakota State Historical Society. The properties listed in November are the Doland Commercial Historic District in Doland, the Jefferson School in Huron, and the Midland Depot in Midland. The National Register is the official federal list of properties identified as important in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture. The State Historic Preservation Office of the State Historical Society works in conjunction with the National Park Service, which oversees the National Register program, to list the properties. “South Dakota’s history is rich in American Indian culture, pioneer life, and change,” said Jay D. Vogt, state historic preservation officer and director of the State Historical Society at the Cultural Heritage Center in Pierre. “The more than 1,300 state individual properties and districts listed on the National Register are important for their role in South Dakota’s culture, heritage, and history. And when properties get listed, it shows that their owners take pride in their role in preserving that culture, heritage, and history.” Buildings, sites, structures, and objects at least 50 years old possessing historical significance may qualify for the National Register, according to Vogt. Properties must also maintain their historic location, design, materials, and association. Listing on the National Register does not place any limitations on private property owners by the federal government. Following is more information about these newly listed properties. Doland Commercial Historic District, Doland Located on the west side of N. Humphrey Dr. between 1st St. and 2nd St., the Doland Commercial Historic District also includes the buildings on the four corners of 2nd St. The period of significance noted in the National Register nomination is 1900-1969. However, because a fire in 1913 destroyed most of the original wood-frame buildings, many of the current buildings were rebuilt that same year. The brick buildings that now comprise the district were built to be fireproof and permanent. The district is historically significant in the area of commerce. It demonstrates the economic development and permanent settlement of Doland and how it became the commercial hub of the surrounding agricultural area. The presence of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway allowed the town to attract businesses which enabled it to become an important regional trade center. Jefferson School, Huron Jefferson School, located at 855 Utah Ave. SE in Huron, was built in 1927. The property is listed under the Schools in South Dakota (1999) Multiple Property Listing for historic significance in the context of education. It represents the development of education during the school standardization and consolidation movements in Huron. The school’s excellent integrity makes it an important structure for conveying these developments. Jefferson School is also eligible for its architectural significance. Designed by renowned Huron architect F.C.W. Kuehn, the school embodies distinctive characteristics that define the standardized consolidated school. These include the flat roof, decorative brick cladding, two main entrance towers, and symmetrical U-shaped floorplan. In addition, the school also has distinct Art Deco features throughout its elevations. The school is currently owned by the Huron Church of the Open Bible and is being used for religious purposes. Properties owned by religious institutions are usually not eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. However, the school was built on the grounds before the church and served as a school from 1927 until 2013 and, therefore, remains significant under the historic themes of education and architecture. Midland Depot, Midland The Midland Depot was built in the 400 block of Main St. by the Chicago and North Western Railroad (CNW) in 1907. The last passenger train went through Midland on October 24, 1960. The depot SDSU Extension Releases Dakota And Lakota Traditional Games Resource Guide BROOKINGS, S.D. - SDSU Extension recently released a resource guide on traditional Dakota and Lakota games. The free, downloadable guide contains six traditional Dakota games and six traditional Lakota games, including photos, instructions on how to play and how to craft the game pieces. “The resource is easy-to-use and promotes physical activities for families, teachers in classrooms, tribal programs, and museum presenters, among others,” said Prairey Walkling, SDSU Extension Family and Community Health Field Specialist. Content was provided by Jeremy Red Eagle, member of the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate who is currently employed at the Sisseton Wahpeton College as an apprentice learning the Dakota Language, and Mike Marshall, a Lakota artist of the Sicangu Lakota. The project was coordinated by Walkling. A partner in these efforts is the International Traditional Games Society of Montana, which aims to recover, restore and re-introduce traditional games. The games were once taught for survival, but today are often played for fun. “Within SDSU Extension’s Healthy Food, Families & Communities project, we are using traditional games as a strategy to increase physical activity in communities that are high-risk for chronic diseases related to obesity,” Walkling said. Bringing back traditional games helps restore cultural capital to indigenous peoples. The First Peoples of the Americas had thousands of diverse games, some of which were the foundation of modern games including baseball, cricket, hockey and soccer. “Traditional games offer mental, physical and spiritual benefits. They are also very versatile, as many game pieces come from nature, Read 201 W. Cherry •Vermillion, SD 57069 open to relocation. Add’l $3.00 per hour for weekend hours.

Must be SDSU Extension To Host ‘Communicating With Farmers Under Stress’ Workshop Jan. 10 BROOKINGS, S.D. - SDSU Extension will facilitate a “Communicating with Farmers Under Stress” workshop Friday, Jan. 10, at 11:00 AM CST in the Huron Regional Medical Center Auditorium. SDSU Extension will present the workshop in partnership with Community Counseling Services, the Huron Chamber & Visitors Bureau and the Huron Regional Medical Center. Numerous factors may cause stress for farmers, as many of them face financial problems, price and marketing uncertainties, farm transfer issues, production challenges and more. Many people know farmers who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, indecision or suicidal thoughts and want to help but are unsure of what to say or do. Additionally, it can be challenging to deliver difficult news to farmers. This workshop will help you recognize and respond when you suspect a farmer or farm family member might need help. The workshop is approximately 4 hours in length and is specific to agri-business professionals and service providers who work with farmers, ranchers, and their was purchased by the Midland Pioneer Museum Association and moved 600 feet to the northwest, its current location, in 1973. The building was repurposed as a museum and houses many historical artifacts pertaining to Midland’s history. The depot was nominated for its significance under Transportation, Exploration/Settlement, and Architecture. The Midland Depot illustrates the historic trend of railroad development across South Dakota in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It also highlights the towns that were established in association with railroad development. The CNW developed four architectural plans for its depots. The Midland Depot is plan number 4, the “Standard Combination with Living Rooms Overhead.” Eleven of these were built along the line, all nearly identical. Many of South Dakota’s depots have been demolished or severely altered. Only five wood-frame depots in the state are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Midland’s depot is in excellent condition and remains much as it was when constructed in 1907.
